Hi Almond! I wanted to ask you if I could help you translate your M.A.Ps into Spanish. I would do the translation for Aegisub and pass it to you for you to just add it. I don't ask for anything in return, I just want the latin community to enjoy your M.A.Ps as they should :D
And I now have a new headcanon that these bois got reincarnated as Ravenpaw and Barley. They look so happy in StarClan :3 ALSO these designs are BOOTIFUL!
almond sun really is the ruler of presenting ships i would've never thought of and making me obsessed with them! this was absolutely such a beautiful and emotional new perspective to see a mapleshade's vengeance map from and of course the participants went above and beyond in making that a reality! these boys deserve to be happy in starclan together no matter what ⭐️
AWWW thank you SO much, sincerely!!! I think looking at this book from completely new, never imagined perspectives can really make everyone appreciate and learn about all these characters even more!! 🫶🥹❤️
I have to admit, I cried, they really did an excellent job, the au is super cute, now I'm a fan of this ship, the truth is when I read Mapleshade's Revenge, I felt that these two would have been an incredible couple, it's super cute! I love the final scene where Apple is shown, this really is art!
This is hands down my absolute favorite shipping map now, and one of my favorite maps in general. The entire story is simple and easy to understand yet incredibly heartfelt, with every dynamic scene and vivid background bringing the ambiance to life. The final scene where everyone reunited and were actually shown forgiving each other and becoming united as a family was so important too, a perfect way to conclude the map considering how filled with hate and zero resolution the canonical Mapleshade’s Vengeance book was. Honestly the entire project got me emotional, thank you so much to all the participants for sharing ❤️
Oh my GODNESS, I am totally sobbing rn 😭😭💗❤️❤️ Your comment made my day, Thank you!!! I am so glad to hear you enjoyed it, your words mean a ton!!! I definitely wanted to make the reunion between all these characters as heart touching as possible. All of them are in the afterlife now so there's no point of letting bitterness rule over the fact that they can start over and show forgiveness and compassion to each other. Love WINS!! 💗🫶🥹🙏
i've said it a million times and i'll continue to say it, you are one of my all time FAVORITE hosts almond! i love your map concepts, and being able to work in them and see them come to life is an amazing experience. This is such a unique and perfect ship. Seeing their growth and all their cute moments together, the pain they go through, and their joyful reuiniting - watching birch show forgiveness to apple and raven care for the kits makes me so emotional. you are warrior cats and these are your characters fr !!!!
BFJFJMR- TAMATA 😭😭😭💙💗 You're literally the sweetest person ever, I've already melted and sobbed at your words!!!! An honor to work with you, thank you SO much again for making this MAP happen in the first place!! 🙏💗🥹
the way i practically CHOKED ON MY WATER when i saw that this awesome map was finally done! i remember seeing the map call right when it was first posted, and seeing it come to fruition was amazing! not only did this map introduce me to the local natives (best band), but it also added so many layers to the canon story. mapleshade's vengeance was already my favorite novella, but the way that birchface's death happened right after starclan warned ravenwing about obeying the medicine cat code, and the implication that ravenwing blames himself because of that just... hits me right in the feels man phenomenal work as always almondsun, and great job done by all the animators who brought this gorgeous map to life. as a young queer guy in a hateful world, it brings me indescribable joy and comfort seeing these silly little kitties end up happy together despite everything. seriously, everyone who participated should be extremely proud! :)
AWww OMGG!!! Read your comment out loud and it was the most sweetest thing ever 😭❤️🙏 Thank you SO much for watching!!!! I really appreciate it and I'm SO overjoyed to hear that the waiting payed off!!! Also VERY thrilled that this project introduced you to new outlooks and experiences!!!! I knew I had to broaden these characters after reading the novella as well and it's great to hear you finding comfort in it! Totally not me sobbing- 🥹 Really hoping that I'm speaking in everyones name from the animation crew when I say that all the participants are really proud and delighted with their work behind the MAP altogether! 💖
So happy to see all mapleshades victims together and happy, as they all did nothing to deserve a gruesome death. It's oakstar she should've taken her revenge out on. Ravenwing was doing his job. Frecklewish had no way to help. Appledusk lost his kits too, he's a cheater and has a manslaughter charge for sure tho.
I do feel fecklewish could of done more..used a branch to try and help scoop out the kits, screamed for help, or even attempted to stop maple..she was horrible to the kittens, they did nothing wrong snd she spat foul words at them..but I don’t think she deserves literal hell for it! Oakstar does however, he caused all of it via breaking the code
Part of Ravenwing’s job description is making sure kits are protected. He deliberately and maliciously revealed the secret and told Mapleshade as much. And he’s xenophobic. He’s just as culpable as Oakstar.
@@imaginarylivingbody7154Mapleshade was going to revel the secret when the kits got older. plus, Mapleshade was disrespecting the dead when she let Frecklewish believe Appledusk’s kits were Birchface’s, and his job as a medicine cat is to LISTEN to the Starclan cats.
ALMONDDDDD you genuinely outdid yourself with this! its crazy remembering when i first joined the project vs where it is now- all the artists genuinely did so fantastic. all the parts are so gorgeous and convey so much emotion- im so lucky to have my art shown next to so many talented people!!!

BRIRBR YAOI CATS INDEED😭😭💗💕 but AAww oMG TYSM Hius for everything you've done to this MAP, you contributed so much and really pushed it to the finish line!! AAw and tysm sincerely for the kind words, totally sobbing at this point😭💗🥹💛 I'd love to do more RavenBirch content in the future!!
Oowww the wholesomeness! It's just too cute! I love the map and everyone who did it did a great job! I think that the story between Ravenwing and Birchface seems to be a lot of a better of a concept for Ravenwing to accuse Mapleshade along with the reeds in his den. It would've sulfide his reasonings even if he didn't full out say that he was in love with Birch.
Aaw tysm, really glad you enjoyed the MAP! 🫶❤️💗 You pointed out this exact detail regarding the reeds sign perfectly!! The way I wrote it; in this AU, Ravenwing immediately suspected her lies at the moment she mentioned Birchface's name but the medicine cat needed additional conformation, to make a believable excuse (the reed pieces) and making the whole clan turn against Mapleshade. Ravenwing was enraged that the father of her kits was the cat who "killed" his beloved Birchface & he felt that making her atone for her sin would somehow "please" Birchface from Starclan. Obviously from Birchface's expressions in his ghost form, that's not the case.
Aa thank you so much! 🥹❤️ And of course!!! It's basic justice and it's absolutely ridiculous to put her into the Dark Forest! She deserves an afterlife in Starclan
Youu, when am I going to lose you? 💚💚💚🫶 Saw majority of this in production, and just want to go ahead and say it’s absolutely amazing and beautifully made, especially the shots with heavy scenery!! I adore the end credits of Birchface forgiving Apple for launching him into the sea.

I just discovered this! What a lovely ship!! Great job to all the animators. My favorite detail is how Ravenwing looks like he has ravens wings on his back!
AHH ALMONDSUN YOU OUTDID YOURSELF WITH THIS MAP! I love Life is Strange so it's so so cool to see a map inspired by it art direction wise!! Everyone did a fantastic job with their parts and it's an HONOR to be able to say I am apart of it!!
AAA THANK U SKYE, it was such a pleasure to have you in this!!!! It means a lot!! 💗🫶 and FR! Life is Strange just has that ambience and atmosphere that shouldn't go unnoticed!! ❤️
I HAD NO IDEA THIS CAME OUT, I JUST HAPPENED TO CHECK THE DISCORD TO SEE WHAT PROGRESS WAS MADE AND I'M HIT IN THE FACE WITH THIS MASTERPIECE!!! TY FOR LETTING ME BE A PART OF IT!
Aw! Such a wholesome ship, it also gives an excuse to why Ravenwing feels so passionately about Mapleshade lying to her clan. I love Frecklewish's little appearances, especially comforting Ravenwing after her brother's death made it seem like she cared about the cat's in her clan and was a more well-rounded character. Overall love the MAP, sorry for the paragraph response ;)
AAW I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it, TYSM!!! 💙💗No need to apologise for your comment at ALL, it's extremely valid!! You pointed out my exact vision when I was planning out this project!! Ravenwing was definitely even more enraged with the whole Maple/Apple situation in this AU then from the book. I also love how you noticed the little Frecklewish moments sprinkled it, she obviously isn't the main perspective here at all but she's still Birchface's supportive sister who stuck by these 2 guys!!! 🥹💗💓
I LOVE THIS M.A.P SO MUCH- Everyone did an amazing job. And also, this is canon and nobody can change my mind. Plus, the post credit scene is so sweet. Flowerpaw hugs her mentor Birchface, then Appledusk comes with his kits (he's also looking at them with a proud expression at first, it's so cute) and looks up at Birchface with tears in his eyes but still gives a warm smile, Birchface runs to him and forgives Appledusk and they hug one another, the kits still being innocent and going to Ravenwing and hugging him, and Ravenwing finally gets to see his beloved mentor again, Oakspeckle (I think that was her name? Correct me if I'm wrong) and Frecklewish immediately hugging her brother. Meanwhile Mapleshade is watching angrily from the Dark Forest before looking away in a sad look (Appledusk is also looking on "protective dad" mode, I love that so much) (I also love the idea of everyone that died in Mapleshade's Vengeance being buddies in StarClan) This M.A.P is awesome agahGaygau-
LBFIRN- aAAaww tysm for watching the MAP, I'm so overjoyed to hear that you love it!! 🥹❤️💛 The animators worked really hard to make the post-credits sequence into something breathtaking and they made it spot on emotional!!! Kudos to them, I definitely recommend subscribing to those wonderful individuals! 🫶💗 Love and kindness wins in this AU!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I KNOW I AM SO SO SO LATE TO COMMENTING ON THIS BUT AAAAAAAAA THIS MAP IS BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS IN TERMS OF SHEER BEAUTY, EMOTIONALITY, AND STORY!!!!
It’s so hard to both be mad and sympathies with Mapleshade, she had every right to be angry when they through out her kits and her…..over soemthing that really is hard to control being love….and yea grief…….grief is monster…..do I blame her for wanting revenge no…..I just wish she went about it differently…..it’s good to see appledusk feeling bad for what he did rather then be a monster……I do hope Raven knows what he did was wrong….but maybe…..maybe they can help Maple…….who knows but this story was amazing keep up the good work
Ayyy, this turned out so good! Everyone’s parts are so ✨majestic✨. And the post credits! Amazing work 💕 I’m really glad I could be a part of this great project ^^
AAW Thank you SO much for watching the project, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!!! Always a good recommendation to subscribe to the people who animated the MAP!! 🥹💛🫶
OH EM GEE It's complete! This project has been a blast to watch get completed and finally have a finished project! Every single participant did such an amazing job and I can't wait to see the future maps you host! Cudos to everyone involved with this wonderful project!🧡
BIRCHFACE FORGIVING APPLEDUSK AT THE END… AND APPLE WITH THE KITS…. I AM SO WEAKKK (for all of his flaws, appledusk really did love his kits and that much is clear in the book. he also seemed really bothered by the fact that he killed birchface; he said it was accident and was mentioned to shudder and stiffen at the mention of it. i’m happy to see all that remembered!!!!)
EGDWSJDGEHED HOLY SHIT ALMOND ITS FINALLY DONE OMG OMG OMG After almost 2 years as well!! Goddamn this map project almost made me cry. Its been a journey and I am so glad Ive been able to see it from start to finish. This MAP introduced me to one of my best friends and was one of the first ones I ever joined. Honestly this MAP was one of the things that gave me the push to go deeper into MAP hell which got me to where I am today. All the animators did so amazing the colors are so beautiful and everything flows together. ALSO END CREDITS!! REDEMPTION FOR THE BASTARD MAN. God the storyline the EVERYTHING this map has been so close to my heart for so long and its been through hell to get here but it was so worth it.

Why did I think Birchface's ghost is gonna save Ravenwing and kill Mapleshade lmao Anyways, great MAP! The animators are very talented! I especially love the expressions of the characters! I love rare ships!
When (Mousefur X Spottedleaf) MAP 🤝 When Am I Gonna Lose You MAP Sad Gay Kitties In Heaven I like to think that, once in Starclan, Ravenwing and Birchface adopt Mapleshade's kits and Flowerpaw. Appledusk hangs out with his kits sometimes, but for the most part he's content that they're in better care with their dads. Frecklewish is also there, being everyone's favorite aunt. Oatspeckle just acts like the grandma that bakes way too many cookies without intending to.
Well pointed out!!! 💗 It was actually an intentional detail, to show her guilt for the murdering spree she committed. At that moment she realised that her doings only brought her victims, clanmates and immediately family together and stronger.

Frecklewish had no way to help.
Appledusk lost his kits too, he's a cheater and has a manslaughter charge for sure tho.

I LOVE THIS M.A.P SO MUCH-
Everyone did an amazing job. And also, this is canon and nobody can change my mind. Plus, the post credit scene is so sweet. Flowerpaw hugs her mentor Birchface, then Appledusk comes with his kits (he's also looking at them with a proud expression at first, it's so cute) and looks up at Birchface with tears in his eyes but still gives a warm smile, Birchface runs to him and forgives Appledusk and they hug one another, the kits still being innocent and going to Ravenwing and hugging him, and Ravenwing finally gets to see his beloved mentor again, Oakspeckle (I think that was her name? Correct me if I'm wrong) and Frecklewish immediately hugging her brother. Meanwhile Mapleshade is watching angrily from the Dark Forest before looking away in a sad look (Appledusk is also looking on "protective dad" mode, I love that so much) (I also love the idea of everyone that died in Mapleshade's Vengeance being buddies in StarClan)
This M.A.P is awesome agahGaygau-
LBFIRN- aAAaww tysm for watching the MAP, I'm so overjoyed to hear that you love it!! 🥹❤️💛
The animators worked really hard to make the post-credits sequence into something breathtaking and they made it spot on emotional!!! Kudos to them, I definitely recommend subscribing to those wonderful individuals! 🫶💗
Love and kindness wins in this AU!
EEEEE THIS IS SO CUTE!!!! EVERYONE DID SO GOOOOD!!!!!! ❤❤ GREAT MAP ALMOND!!! BIRCH AND RAVEN ARE SOOO 🥰 CUTE
AA HALOO, THANK YOU!!!!! So happy to hear you liked it!!!! 💗❤️😭
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I KNOW I AM SO SO SO LATE TO COMMENTING ON THIS BUT AAAAAAAAA THIS MAP IS BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS IN TERMS OF SHEER BEAUTY, EMOTIONALITY, AND STORY!!!!
It’s so hard to both be mad and sympathies with Mapleshade, she had every right to be angry when they through out her kits and her…..over soemthing that really is hard to control being love….and yea grief…….grief is monster…..do I blame her for wanting revenge no…..I just wish she went about it differently…..it’s good to see appledusk feeling bad for what he did rather then be a monster……I do hope Raven knows what he did was wrong….but maybe…..maybe they can help Maple…….who knows but this story was amazing keep up the good work
This was such a masterpiece! I never thought I needed to see RavenxBirch before now but now that I’ve seen it I LOVE IT GOD
AWW THANK YOU!!! It means so much to hear that, so glad you enjoyed it!! ✨😭💗
THIS IS SO ADORABLE- LIKE- I didn’t hear of this map before the mapathon, so I had no idea what was coming, but this amazed me!!!! Beautiful ❤

HDKDNE- Tysm!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🥹💗💕
BIRCHFACE FORGIVING APPLEDUSK AT THE END… AND APPLE WITH THE KITS…. I AM SO WEAKKK (for all of his flaws, appledusk really did love his kits and that much is clear in the book. he also seemed really bothered by the fact that he killed birchface; he said it was accident and was mentioned to shudder and stiffen at the mention of it. i’m happy to see all that remembered!!!!)
WHOAA CANT WAIT!! I’m sure it looks amazing :0

This MAP introduced me to one of my best friends and was one of the first ones I ever joined. Honestly this MAP was one of the things that gave me the push to go deeper into MAP hell which got me to where I am today. All the animators did so amazing the colors are so beautiful and everything flows together. ALSO END CREDITS!! REDEMPTION FOR THE BASTARD MAN. God the storyline the EVERYTHING this map has been so close to my heart for so long and its been through hell to get here but it was so worth it. EVERYONE GO CHECK OUT EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS AND ALSO MAJOR THANK YOU TO ALMOND FOR BEING A FANTASTIC HOST how they run maps is who I inspire to be because holy crap this was one of the best experiences Ive had.

Here we are, so surreal seeing this completed! I wasn't able to catch the premiere, but you best believe I played this on my living room TV as soon as I was home from work. Dude I SOBBED, both from the touching presentation of Raven and Birch's story, and also from getting to see the final product of every participant's hard work. Such a unique concept, and all the talented artists made incredibly beautiful parts! Almond I can't say it enough but thank you for letting me join, this will truly go down as one of the best MAP experiences I've had and I'll always cherish that ❤

A wise warrior cats animator once told me.

Aw thank you sm for watching!! 💗💗
Everyone did so well, thank you for letting me participate!
AA tysm again for joining!!! It was a pleasure having you!! 💛🫶
Why did I think Birchface's ghost is gonna save Ravenwing and kill Mapleshade lmao
Anyways, great MAP! The animators are very talented! I especially love the expressions of the characters! I love rare ships!
When (Mousefur X Spottedleaf) MAP 🤝 When Am I Gonna Lose You MAP
Sad Gay Kitties In Heaven
I like to think that, once in Starclan, Ravenwing and Birchface adopt Mapleshade's kits and Flowerpaw. Appledusk hangs out with his kits sometimes, but for the most part he's content that they're in better care with their dads. Frecklewish is also there, being everyone's favorite aunt. Oatspeckle just acts like the grandma that bakes way too many cookies without intending to.
I really love your headcanons!!!
As of writing this WAIGLY has hit 10,015 views! Congrats to our host Almond and all fellow participants 🥳🎉
SOBS ENDLESSLY- TYSM LITTLEBLUE!!!!!! Your dedication to this MAP means so much /gen 🥹🥹💗💖😭❤️❤️❤️
Interesting detail but if you notice mapleshade shows a little bit of guilt, through her expression.
Well pointed out!!! 💗 It was actually an intentional detail, to show her guilt for the murdering spree she committed. At that moment she realised that her doings only brought her victims, clanmates and immediately family together and stronger.
Hey don't be sad, gay cat marriage ok?
me clicking: Ravenwing x fucking Birchface??
me by 6:47: HOLY FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
